Karter is on the move.

Karter has started rolling this past week or so. We didn't know he could do this because we never let him play on the floor. Kade and Noelle would bother him. So this past week, we put a big blanket on the floor and no one was allowed on it but Karter. He almost immediately rolled from his belly to his back. And several times he has gone from his back to his belly. Unfortunately he did this 2 times during the night and was not happy about it, so I went in and rescued him!

Catching lightning bugs

The kid's new favorite summer activity is catching lightning bugs. They ask every night if we can go out and catch them. It is hard to tell what they're doing in the pictures, but they are chasing the lightning bugs.

4th of July Fun:)

Over the weekend of the 4th we were professional picnickers! We went to the fire station for their annual picnic on the 4th. The kids got to ride in the firetrucks. They have been in the trucks before, but never had a ride.

We went to Nate's Aunt and Uncle's for a picnic on Sunday. The weather was perfect for a pool party! It wasn't too hot and it wasn't too sunny. My kids were in the pool almost all day. They were out for about 20 minutes to eat lunch!
Here we are, even Karter liked the water after awhile.

Karter was a little unsure about the pool at first, but he settled in and had a good time. He was in the pool quite awhile before we took him out. He had fun floating in his raft.

Karter and Granda Girton under the tent. We took our quick up tent to the picnic for Karter to have some shade and it was a hit with everyone.

Noelle, Grandma Girton and Kade about 30 seconds after we got to the picnic!

Karter just chillin' on a blanket that almost matched his swimsuit. He loved being outside and being around all the new sights and sounds at Aunt Sue and Uncle Noel's.

Ashley's Kitties

Nate's cousin Ashley has been babysitting our kids this summer. She informed us of some new arrivals at their cabin a few weeks ago and we had to go and check them out! Here's Ashley with the four kitties. They are so cute.

Kade likes the 2 dark kitties and Noelle likes the 2 white kitties.

They got to bottle feed the kitties.
